Reading has a substantial professional services sector serving the city's large technology and professional services economy. The city's high-value property market, technology sector, and the University of Reading generate regular conveyancing, surveying, and professional advice negligence claims.
Reading's property market — spanning Victorian and Edwardian housing, riverside properties, and new city centre developments — creates a steady volume of surveyor and conveyancer negligence claims. The city's large technology sector generates accountancy and business advice claims.
A surveyor undertaking a HomeBuyer Report on a Reading riverside property failed to adequately advise on the Thames flood risk. The buyer subsequently suffered flood damage.
An IFA in Reading recommended an unregulated investment to a technology professional without adequately explaining the risks. The investment failed, and the client lost a substantial portion of their savings.
Reading's key industries include technology (Microsoft, Oracle, Vodafone), financial services, property and construction, and education (the University of Reading).
Yes. Reading's Thames flood risk is well-known, and a competent surveyor should identify and report on flood risk for riverside properties. If the surveyor failed to adequately advise on the flood risk and you suffered loss as a result, they may be negligent.
IFAs have a duty to conduct adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend and to ensure it is suitable for your risk profile and circumstances. If the adviser failed to conduct due diligence, failed to explain the risks, or recommended an investment that was unsuitable, the advice was negligent.
